Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information ASN collects, why it is processed, and how we protect account, profile, and community activity data.
1. Information We Collect
- Account details such as name, email address, and authentication metadata.
- Profile information you choose to provide, including university, country, bio, mentor status, and skills.
- Community activity such as posts, comments, messages, mentorship requests, RSVPs, and uploaded files.
2. How We Use Information
- To operate core product features such as authentication, profiles, messaging, events, and moderation workflows.
- To improve platform reliability, diagnose incidents, and protect the service against abuse or unauthorized access.
- To send essential transactional communications including account verification, security notifications, and service updates.
3. Sharing and Disclosure
ASN does not sell personal data. Information may be processed by trusted infrastructure providers that help us run authentication, hosting, storage, analytics, or monitoring systems.
We may disclose information when required by law, to enforce platform policies, or to protect users and the service from abuse or security threats.
4. Retention and Security
We retain information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to operate the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce policies.
We apply technical and organizational safeguards to protect account and application data, but no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.
